Tascam TH-02 vs Sennheiser HD 600

If you prioritize comfort from your over-ears, consider the Koss. However, if you want more portable headphones, consider the Tascam instead.

I’m not a headphone expert, though I have been using them in one form or another dating back to 1977, so a good 40 years on everything from the old Koss white eggshell looking things to Sony’s 1980s on the ear to noise canceling Sony and Bose phones. But for music (hi-fi) my AKGs had been my reference until they were damaged. But this review concerns some AKG K-712s that I purchased at the same time as the Sennheisers specifically to test. In truth I picked up the AKGs after being disappointed with the HD600s; feeling like something was missing

**What would you like to improve on from your set-up:** Sound-wise, nothing really if I be honest (though improvements are nice), the thing I am looking for is comfortability as I will be using the headphones while doing school work (and other activities) for moderate durations (a few hours).

Clear: It’s pretty crazy how comfortable the Clears are for how heavy they are. They are so perfectly balanced on my head that I do forget I have headphones on sometimes.

I think you're pursuing diminishing returns in sound quality alone to pay much more than this for headphones(in this case, you'd pay 5X more for the M50s...but I don't think you're getting 5X the sound quality)

The original HD 600 is a legend in our hobby and its design and its sound has stood the test of time. This is one of the newer versions that has been ...

-As far as what I'm looking to improve, I just want more detail and to be able to cancel out anything in the background and let my mind just focus on whatever I'm either working on or listening to. As far as what I'm looking to get out of these, I want something that's just durable as I plan for these to be my daily drivers for everything I do outside of my PC. Bluetooth is appreciated but not required as long as they do have a wired option for my Switch.

But those are my thoughts on the new 600. Now I'd love to know your thoughts in the comment section down below. Do you think you'll be picking up a pa...

The sound quality of these aren't bad. It's quiet, I constantly have to take them off even when no music is playing. I'm thinking of making these my travel headphones as well. So, there you go, you read through this whole thing, you're probably in the same boat as me when it comes to price, these are it, you won't be sorry

Clearly the Grado's at $100 are the least expensive with the Momentum jumping up markedly to $299, while the more recently acquired Sennheiser HD600 hit the $400 mark. When a number of them are playing notes together the Grado's sounded smeared compared to the HD600s. Not unlike a poorly created JPEG from a digital point-n-shoot versus a well-made JPEG from an original RAW processed via Adobe Lightroom. Details are are lost in the former, but the latter does a far superior job of keeping the detail even in the process of losing information

First and foremost, these are not "professional". They can, however, serve a purpose for use in a basement/garage/vanity studio. Noise cancellation got a 4 but not for the criteria most people would use; I'm using it in context of isolating playback from any nearby mics. They isolate really well

I went around one day in Sydney and tested all the earphones I could find in 3 stores and was just stunned by the performance difference in the Sennheiser compared to the rest. It was a huge difference.
